A question about how HN works. I'd submitted the same article to HN at a much less opertune time so it fell off the "new" page before it got its first upvotes. [1]

Normally when somebody then resubmits the same article at a better time I thought they had to add a '~' at the end of the URL or something, but I don't see anything like that in this case. So how'd they do it?

(And I should say I'm glad that you all get to see this article, so thank you enos_feedler).

Note that the article you submitted has a trailing /, this submission doesn't and so was not detected by HN as a duplicate story - or so it seems.
